The home

The children of Nane-Home are motherless without exception, and some are full orphans. Those who have a parent, it´s like not having parents at all because they are alcoholics or have problems with gambling and barely survive on their own. In one case a father told Chris: “ Take them, you can have them, I don´t want them”. He was referring to his two children who where interferringwith his plan to remarry.

The education of children

None of the children has ever been to school until Childsrights took over their care and began to invest love in their futures. Since then, the Nane-Home children visit a private English school and the smaller ones visit an english pre-school. In addition they get help with their homework every evening during two hours by an Indian computer science professor qualified by the Cervantes Institute of Delhi. Mr. Mahesh also teaches them Spanish since he studied at the Cervantes Institute in Delhi. This way the children grow up surrounded by three languages which helps with their fututre opportunities.
